Telnet Commands 205
This command enables you to set a threshold for each contributor, so that a
certain number of failures are allowed before changing the status of the
switch.
If the value of a policy parameter is set to 0, it means that this factor is not
used to determine the status of the switch. If the range of values for a
particular contributor is set to 0 for both MARGINAL and DOWN, that
contributor is not used in the calculation of the overall switch status.
ISLStatus monitors ISLs that are part of a defined switch group. The status
of other ISLs on the same switch but outside of the group definition are not
considered when calculating switch status. If no switch groups are defined
on this switch, these ISLStatus settings have no effect on switch status.
The sgroup ISLStatus does not affect the status of the switch as quickly as
the other contributors. It can take a few minutes for a switch group ISL
status change to affect the state of the switch.
Note
When PortStatus monitoring is set to values of (0,0), port status
changes are not logged to the event log and console. Similarly, GBIC
removal does not generate a message to the event log and console if
MissingGBICs is set to (0,0). By configuring these options, you can more
closely monitor for port status and removal of GBICs.
Operands None
Example Notice that in the following example, the only parameters modified are the
number of FaultyPorts allowed before the status of the switch changes to
MARGINAL and DOWN.
